Indianapolis | Vintage Indiana Wine Festival 2013

This has been a hard post for me to write. Not because I am lacking in things to say about Vintage Indiana, but because it all kind of sounds like this:

OMG you guys WINE!! Indiana wine and summer and friends and YAY!!!

Which I have to admit is a pretty profound and powerful statement. But there’s so much more to tell you about this awesome event. I mean, I’m sure I probably had you at “wine,” but read on to find out why Vintage Indiana is all about wine – and so much more.

There are 69 wineries in Indiana, and they produce over 1.25 million gallons of wine each year. Some of my favorite wines come from Indiana wineries like French Lick Winery, Oliver Winery, and Satek Winery. You’ll be able to try all these and more at Vintage Indiana. I am a sweet/dessert wine kind of girl, but with over 300 different wines to sample, Vintage has something to suit every palette. If you find something you love, you can even bring a bottle home with you! Or two. No judgment.

Wine isn’t the only thing you’ll find at Vintage Indiana. There’s also live music from Cari Ray, Jennie DeVoe, and American Idol Josh Gracin. Local restaurants and food trucks will be there offering up all kinds of deliciousness. And you’ll get to enjoy the beauty of downtown Indianapolis in the summer at Military Park. Designated Drivers (my heroes!) have access to unlimited soft drinks and water, so even if you’re not sampling the wines you can still come out and enjoy the day.

Vintage Indiana is coming to Military Park on Saturday, June 1st, 2013 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Advance tickets are $22 and are available at Marsh Supermarkets or online at the Vintage Indiana website. Tickets are available at the door for $25. Designated Driver tickets are $10 and include unlimited soft drinks and water. Kids ages 6 to 20 are $5, and kids 5 and under are free!

Or, you know, you could just WIN some tickets from Indiana’s Family of Farmers and Mom For Less! Enter using the Rafflecopter form below, and be sure to tell your friends about the giveaway, too. It’s good giveaway mojo! The giveaway ends on May 22nd at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Can’t wait to raise a toast with you at Vintage Indiana!
